Insufficient ventilation

Your new roof might fail immediately if it doesn’t have proper ventilation. By having balanced intake and exhaust openings on your attic space you keep your roof healthy and you make sure it is never too cold or too warm. Furthermore, installing some healthy attic ventilation will prevent your roof from forming annoying ice dams after heavy snowfall. But also during the summer season installing proper ventilation keeps your roof in good condition. It helps avoiding a build up of the heat and moisture in your attic space. So make sure your roofer addresses ventilation in your home and inspects the attic space!
